If you are thinking of getting your e-PAN card made soon, then there is important news for you. The Income Tax Department has recently given a big update regarding making a PAN card. The department said that the facility for making Instant e-PAN will not be available for two days.
E-PAN is a digital PAN card, which you can get online immediately with the help of your Aadhaar card and mobile number linked to Aadhaar. The Income Tax Department said that the service of Instant PAN will be disrupted due to necessary maintenance on the portal.
The facility will be closed for these two days.
The Income Tax Department has informed that the e-PAN service will not be available from midnight on 17 August 2025 to 12 midnight of 19 August 2025. That is, during these two days, you will not be able to make an Instant e-PAN. However, if you have already applied for e-PAN, then you can check its status and also download it.
The biggest advantage of this service is that it is free, completely digital, and it does not require a photocopy of any document or filling out a form. It is very beneficial for those people who have not yet received a PAN card, but they have to do income tax-related work or start banking services. This service is only for those people who do not have a PAN card yet, but they definitely have a valid Aadhaar number and mobile number linked to it.
Why two days of blockage?
The Income Tax Department is doing some necessary technical work on its portal. For this reason, the facility of e-PAN will be temporarily closed from 17 to 19 August. The department has requested the users to make their planning according to this information so that there is no problem.
Why is e-PAN necessary?
In today's time, PAN card has become necessary for many government and private works, such as filing income tax returns, opening a bank account, investing in mutual funds, etc. In such a situation, for those who do not have a PAN yet, this instant e-PAN service is an easy and fast option.
